For the archives: The solution was two-fold (and obvious, as I suspected): 1) disable PnP on the modem, and manually configure irq/ioport. 2) ensure irq/ioport do not conflict with motherboard serial ports.
So, I ended up with ttyS1 on irq=5, with io=0x02f8. Now it works like a champ. Many thanks for the quick and helpful response. -- Thom Brooke. >On Mon, 2002-07-22 at 09:28, Brooke, Thomas wrote: >> >> I'm trying to setup Bering 1.0 rc3 to use ppp for the external net through >> an internal serial modem. >> >> The main problem appears to be that Bering does not recognize the modem on >> startup.
